wood blewit(t)

[English] plural wood blewit(t)s

The wood blewitt grows on the edges of woods. The stem, cap and gills are an unmistakable bright lilac blue. They have a fresh, clean flavour which is excellent with potatoes. They are related to the Japanese matsutake mushrooms and can be substituted. (If gathering mushrooms you must be absolutely certain what you have before you eat them as many are very poisonous.)
